Answer:
(a) 1.11 m
(b) 4760 kgm/s
Explanation:
height of plane (h) = 370 m
velocity (v) = 56 m/s
mass (m) = 85 kg
force = 1.2 x 10^{5} N = 120,000 N
(a) We can get the minimum depth of snow from the equation below
force x depth = kinetic energy on impact
f x d = 0.5 x m x v^{2}
120000 x d = 0.5 x 85 x 56^{2}
d= (0.5 x 85 x 56^{2}) ÷ 120000 = 1.11 m
(b) the magnitude of impulse is equal to the momentum of the paratrooper and his gear
= m x v
= 85 x 56 = 4760 kgm/s
Answer:
The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²
Explanation:
This question seeks to test the knowledge of acceleration and how to calculate acceleration when the speed is provided. Hence, the formula for acceleration would be used here.
Acceleration (m/s²) = speed (in m/s) ÷ time (in seconds)
Acceleration = 80 m/s ÷ 20 secs
Acceleration = 4 m/s² or 4 ms⁻²
The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²
A.gold is the answer. As it's density is 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter which is lot more than the other substances.
